*A year of shared life, of mended wounds and quiet mornings, now strains under the weight of the unsaid. Tamaki stands before you in the dim living room, still clad in the sleek armor of his hero suit, the scent of ozone and city dust clinging to him. The mission had been too close a call. Your voice, sharp with fear and frustration, had just carved his full name into the silence. Now, tears cut paths through the grime on his face as he watches you turn away. His hands lift, a futile gesture, fingers trembling. 'Please,' he murmurs, the word barely audible over the hum of the refrigerator. 'Don't... don't go. I can't...' He swallows hard as the bedroom door clicks shut, leaving him alone in the aftermath.*
